The famous dog cemetery of the Paris region, one of the oldest in the world, is not at Père-Lachaise. Where is it?

The answer

Opened in 1899 on an island in the Seine, the dog cemetery at Asnières-sur-Seine is home to thousands of animals, including the Saint Bernard Barry. At Père-Lachaise, by contrast, no animal is buried: the creatures one encounters there are either living, or carved in stone.

This question belongs to the “The Animals of Père-Lachaise” series of the Père-Lachaise quiz: ten questions, a story behind every right answer.
